  3. Introduction • This paper brings forward the concept of “fair” allocation. • The claim is that fair allocation inherently requires routers to maintain state and perform operations on a per flow basis. • The authors present an architecture and a set of algorithms that is “approximately” fair while using FIFO queueing at internal routers.

  6. Core-Stateless Fair Queueing • Ingress edge routers compute per-flow rate estimates and insert these estimates as labels into each packet header. • Only edge routers maintain per flow state. • Labels are updated at each router based only on aggregate information. • FIFO queuing with probabilistic dropping of packets on input is employed at the core routers. Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  7. Edge – Core Router Architecture Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  8. Fluid Model Algorithm • Assume the bottleneck router has an output link with capacity C. • Assume each flow’s arrival rate, ri (t), is known precisely. The main idea is that max-min fair bandwidth allocations are characterized such that all flows that are bottlenecked by a router have the same output rate. • This rate is called the fair share rate of the link. • Let α(t) be the fair share rate at time t. Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  9. Fluid Model Algorithm If max-min bandwidth allocations are achieved, each flow receives service at a rate given by min (ri (t), α(t)) Let A(t) denote the total arrival rate: If A(t) > C , then the fair share is the unique solution to Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  10. Fluid Model Algorithm Thus, the probabilistic fluid forwarding algorithm that achieves fair bandwidth allocation is: Each incoming bit of flowiis dropped with probability max (0,1-α(t)/ri(t)) (2) These dropping probabilities yield fair share arrival rates at the next hop. Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  11. Packet Algorithm • Moving from a bit-level, bufferless fluid model to a packet-based, buffer model with unknown arrival rates leaves two challenges: • Estimate the flow arrival rates ri(t) • Estimate the fair share α(t) • This is possible because the rate estimator incorporates the packet size. Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  12. Flow Arrival Rate At each edge router, use exponential averaging to estimate the rate of a flow. For flow i, let likbe the length of the kthpacket. tikbe the arrival time of the kthpacket. Then the estimated rate of flow i, riis updated every time a new packet is received: rinew= (1-e-T/K) L / T + (e-T/K)riold(3) where T=Tik= tik– tik-1 L = likand K is a constant Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  13. Link Fair Rate Estimation If we denote the estimate of the fair share by and the acceptance rate by , we have Note – if we know ri(t),then can be determined by finding the unique solution to F(x) = C. However, this requires per-flow state ! Instead, aggregate measurements of F and A are used to compute . Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  14. Heuristic Algorithm • The heuristic algorithm needs three aggregate state variables: , , where is the estimated aggregate arrival rate and is the estimated accepted traffic rate . • When a packet arrives, the router computes: (5) where T is the interarrival time between the current and previous packet. • and similarly computes . Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  15. CSFQ Algorithm When a packet arrives, is updated using exponential averaging (equation 5). If the packet is dropped, remains the same. If the packet is not dropped, is updated using exponential averaging. At the end of an epoch (defined by Kc), if the link is congested during the whole epoch, update : Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  16. CSFQ Algorithm (cont.) • If the link is not congested, is set to the largest rate of any active flow seen during the last Kctime units. • feeds into the calculation of drop probability, p, for the next arriving packet as α in p = max (0 , 1 – α / label) Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  17. CSFQ Algorithm (cont.) • Estimation inaccuracies may cause to exceed link capacity. • Thus, to limit the effect of Drop Tail buffer overflows, every time the buffer overflows is decreased by 1% in the simulations. • If link becomes uncongested, algorithm assumes it remains uncongested until buffer occupancy reached 50% or higher.

  20. Label Rewriting • At core routers, outgoing rate is merely the minimum between the incoming rate and the fair rate, α . • Hence, the packet label L can be rewritten by L new=min(L old, α ) Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  22. Simulations • A major effort of the paper is to compare CSFQ to four algorithms via ns-2 simulations. • FIFO • RED • FRED (Flow Random Early Drop) • DRR (Deficit Round Robin) Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  23. FRED (Flow Random Early Drop) • Maintains per flow state in router. • FRED preferentially drops a packet of a flow that has either: • Had many packets dropped in the past • A queue larger than the average queue size • Main goal : Fairness • FRED-2 guarantees a minimum number of buffers for each flow . Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  24. DRR (Deficit Round Robin) • Represents an efficient implementation of WFQ. • A sophisticated per-flow queueing algorithm. • Scheme assumes that when router buffer is full, the packet from the longest queue is dropped. • Can be viewed as the “best case” algorithm with respect to fairness. Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  25. ns-2 Simulation Details • Use TCP, UDP, RLM (Receiver-driven Layered Multicast) and On-Off traffic sources in separate simulations. • Bottleneck link: 10 Mbps, 1ms latency, 64KB buffer • CSFQ threshold is 16KB. • RED, FRED (min, max) thresholds: (16KB, 32KB) • K and Kc = 100 ms. = 200ms. Kα Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  26. A Single Congested Link • First Experiment : 32 UDP CBR flows • Each UDP flow is indexed from 0 to 31 with flow 0 sending at 0.3125 Mbps and each of the i subsequent flows sending (i+ 1) times its fair share of 0.3125 Mbps. • Second Experiment : 1 UDP CBR flow, 31 TCP flows • UDP flow sends at 10 Mbps • 31 TCP flows share a single 10 Mbps link. Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  29. A Single Congested Link • Third Experiment Set : 31 simulations • Each simulation has a different N, N = 2 … 32. • One TCP and N-1 UDP flows with each UDP flow sending at twice the fair share rate of 10/(N +1) Mbps. Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  32. Multiple Congested Links • First experiment : CBR UDP flow 0 sends at its fair share rate, 0.909 Mbps while the other ten “crossing” UDP flows send at 2 Mbps. • Second experiment: Replace the UDP flow with one TCP flow and leave the ten crossing UDP flows.

  35. Receiver-driven Layered Multicast (RLM) • RLM is an adaptive scheme in which the source sends the information encoded in a number of layers. • Each layer represents a different multicast group. • Receivers join and leave multicast groups based on packet drops experienced. Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  36. Receiver-driven Layered Multicast (RLM) • Simulation of three RLM flows and one TCP flow with a 4 Mbps link. • Fair share for each is 1 Mbps. • Since router buffer set to 64 KB, K, Kc, and are set to 250 ms. • Each RLM layer Isends 2i+4 Kbps with each receiver subscribing to the first five layers.

  44. On-Off Flow Model • One approach to modeling interactive, Web traffic :: OFF represents “think time”. • ON and OFF times are drawn from exponential distribution with means of 200 ms and 3800 ms respectively ( K set to 200 ms). • During ON period source sends at 10 Mbps. • 19 CBR flows sending at 0.5Mbps Advanced Computer Networks: CSFQ Paper

  46. Web Traffic • A second approach to modeling Web traffic uses Pareto Distribution to model the length of a TCP connection. • In this simulation 60 TCP flows whose interarrivals are exponentially distributed with mean 0.1 ms and Pareto distribution with shaping parameter 1.06 that yields a mean connection length of 40,1 KB packets. • One CBR flow sending at 10 Mbps.
